Welcome to the June edition of the Peterborough Workspace Newsletter.
May has proved to be a rather peaceful month on the tenancy front with no one either moving in or leaving us. If you are interested in low cost office and/or workshop accommodation, then please have a look at the “available space” part of our website or, preferably, give us a call and/or come in and see us.
During May we were featured in the "Your Peterborough" magazine which is delivered to every home in Peterborough - if you want another view of Peterborough Workspace go online at to download the PDF where we are on pages 16 and 17.
It's very pleasing to note that despite what are still difficult economic conditions, businesses at Peterborough Workspace still continue to progress and prosper. One of our businesses, Cambridge Medical Aesthetics, initially distributed medical devices and surgical products to the healthcare profession. With research and development, they later decided to manufacture their own medical devices and pharmaceuticals which requires a huge amount of research data to be generated in addition to the validation of manufacturing processes by appropriate authorities to safeguard the public.
The first batch of Cambridge Medical Aesthetics first product called Uma Jeunesse an injectable medical device for the correction of facial lines was manufactured and started clinical trials last year. In April, Uma Jeunesse was granted a European validation certificate which means that the product can now be brought to the market. Cambridge Medical Aesthetics are working on other products which will be manufactured, validated and brought to the market in due course but it is really pleasing that a small British player in a field of giant companies is doing so well.
Daral Brennan trading as Mr Vinyl www.mistervinyl.co.uk/signsandgraphics.php has also had some great news recently. The company has just been appointed as sole supplier of all merchandise to modified car club event organisers OneNation.Cruise. They have a massive culture following and are recognised by leading car modification magazines Max Power and Fast Car to name but two.
Daral said: “After lengthy negotiations, we are delighted to be sole merchandise suppliers to OneNation. This will involve printing and supplying T-Shirts, hoodies, caps, car stickers, merchandise and of course vehicle graphics and wraps. Mister Vinyl will also be in attendance at all events to sell this merchandise directly to members and the public. We are also rolling out a complete mail order service just to cater for their members that can't get to us.”
OneNation's founder and events organiser SilvaD said: "Mister Vinyl was our first choice to supply our merchandise and vehicle graphics. They are gaining a decent reputation within the car modification market through their work for Max Power magazine. This is what our member's want - a reliable, professional designer and printer able to produce great products.
I was absolutely delighted to learn that we have another apprentice in Workspace House - the fifth in the last few months. PCM Systems & Services have recently welcomed Alex Nickson to the fold and he has already proved himself to be a vital part of their growing team after just one week of working. Naturally we all wish him every success in his new role.
PCM provide IP Surveillance Network cameras and access control. These cameras can be viewed via an internet connection from wherever you are in the world, giving you the option to keep an eye on your business premises/ home even whilst you're away. These professional surveillance cameras differ from webcams as they are completely independent devices on your Local Area Network (LAN).
PCM have successfully installed networks for various sectors such as retail, transport, education and the financial services industry, and have recently completed a project for an existing customer in their new Cygnet Park offices, installing over 100 data outlet points.
PCM can advise you on the best network camera solution for your specific needs so if you think they can help please contact them through their website.
Please have a look at Peter Mulhall of Business Link's article below about how you could think about linking your marketing to your sales processes. I think this could start some beneficial thought processes for some. Once again my thanks to Peter for producing such a useful article for us.
Peterborough Workspace is ideal for start up and new businesses, particularly those who operate from home who want to get to the next level. Even if our available units may not suit at this time, please feel free to call me or come in for a chat to see how we may be able to help in the future.
